Valuation Services

We often refer valuation inquiries to qualified experts who hold one or more of the five SBA Qualified Source credentials.

For transactions with selling prices in excess of $250,000-or goodwill exceeding $250,000--- we recommend third party business valuations that are provided by CPAs and properly credentialed business appraisers with whom we work. These firms are generally located outside New England. We can provide provide you with a list of SBA recognized professional designations with definitions to help you determine suitable valuation methods for your business.

Third party valuations provide objective support for asking prices and often expedite the lending process. We often recommend Boston Valuation Services www.BostonValuations.com who provide a range of different credentialed business valuation services nationwide.

Building or Office Condominium?

An office condominium is similar to a residential condominium. A condominium association is formed and the association owns the land and buildings. The condominium unit owner is conveyed title in the interior space of his unit as well as an undivided interest in the common areas (building and land) of the association. The percentage of ownership is derived by the percentage of each owner’s square footage as a percentage of the total square footage of the condominium project. Maintenance, repairs, and other fees and allocated based on this percentage of ownership.

Office buildings, while typically more expensive than office condominiums, offer the opportunity to add tenants and a potentially growing income stream over the period of ownership.
